Laser Alignment

[Jerry Stebbins]

Bob, I will look for some info this weekend. They do make more precise aperatures (laser cut) and I need to go back to old stuff when we were looking at ways to narrow the beam. I think the main difference was $$$. Think they came out of UK.

  Couldn't figure out an aperture.  Needs some sort of optical sharpening of the beam....dunno how to do that.
  Any laser-optics-light folks out there with ideas?

    I love it when we get Bob all excited and he dashes off to try something I don't have the energy to go do.......  ;-))))))))

        Hey Bob, is there a way to narrow the laser line projection with a mask or grid attached near to the laser lens.  Leaves a smaller apprature (sp?) for the laser to project thru...  I think I saw something like that in an article somewhere.....

          One comment, after buying some of the "laser levels" out there....they can 
          be HUGELY helpful, and I bought two from Wally World (cheapies) to help with 
          "general" alignment, and they work well.

          As long as you have no objection to the 3/32-1/8" wide line that they 
          project.
          If there was a way to make that line THINNER, they would be REALLY cool. 
          (But they ain't bad as they are, easy to adjust to give 90* lines...handy)
